Designed By Renzo Frau
The Chester sofa features a suspension system made of hand-placed, double-cone steel springs, fixed to jute belts on a seasoned beechwood supporting frame. The seat padding is in rubberized horsehair, while the backrest and armrests are in hand-shaped vegetable horsehair. The seat cushions are filled with goose down. The legs may be spherical or tall, in dark walnut-stained beech or black lacquered beech. They are also available in wood covered with leather. The upholstery of the Chester sofa is available in Pelle Frau®.
Concept And Design
The Chester sofa celebrates the classic model of Edwardian England, revisited by Renzo Frau in the first catalogue in 1912 and inspired by the sofas and armchairs that populated English clubs and country houses at that time. One of the icons of the Poltrona Frau brand ever since, Chester stands out for its pleated armrests, an appropriate finishing touch for the rich capitonné processing of the leather, carried out entirely by hand.
